    TLDR Asian men have varying hair densities, important for hair transplant success.
    The study assessed follicular unit density in 70 Asian men with androgenetic alopecia undergoing hair transplantation. It found that East and Southeast Asians had an average follicular unit density of 61.1 FU/cm², with 111.2 hairs/cm², predominantly consisting of 2-hair grafts (54.2%). West Asians had a slightly higher density of 63.6 FU/cm², with 126.8 hairs/cm², also mainly 2-hair grafts (59%), and the highest miniaturized hair density at 17.8 hairs/cm². South Asians showed similar density to West Asians at 63.5 FU/cm², with 126.8 hairs/cm², and a similar distribution of graft types. The study highlighted variations in donor density and hair characteristics among different Asian populations, which are crucial for successful hair transplantation outcomes.
